The GO Pass is a subsidized train pass providing eligible students with unlimited use of Caltrain. The GO Pass is currently available for $99.50 to graduate students living off-campus in housing that is not subsidized by Stanford University (students who pick up the pass forfeit the CleanAir Cash). In order to provide these low cost passes, Caltrain requires that Stanford University purchase one pass for every off-campus student at a total cost of over $320 000. The current GO Pass will expire in December 2007 with no funding available to continue the program. 

The GSC has placed an advisory referendum on the 2007 ASSU ballot, in a 12-1-0 vote, to create a student funded GO Pass program for 2008 and beyond. This referendum requests that Stanford University charge all off-campus graduate students a non-refundable quarterly fee equal to the cost of the GO Pass. As this is an advisory referendum, the final decision of whether or not to charge this fee will be made by the Office of the Provost. If charged, this fee will appear on off-campus graduate students’ tuition bills each academic quarter.  For example, if the annual cost of a GO Pass is $108 per person, each off-campus student would be charged $36 per academic quarter.

The service will run from 1:00 PM to 6:37 PM every Saturday from January 13 through March 17.  Detailed schedule.

The service is open to all Stanford affiliates. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please contact GSC representative This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The Caltrain GO Pass for off-campus students has been extended for 2007.

The passes will be available from Parking & Transportation Services (P&TS) starting on Monday, Jan. 22. They cost $99.50, are non-refundable, and students purchasing a pass will not be eligible for Clean Air Cash.

Students are required to fill out a short Survey and sign the Information Sheet before they can purchase the passes. In order to speed up the processing at P&TS, we ask that you download the forms (available here) and complete them before arriving at the P&TS counter. (If they are printed onto three single sided pages, the survey can be handed in anonymously.)
